[QUOTE="Bucklowery, post: 2345440, member: 69506"] I was concerned about all of this as I prepared for my Montana hunt as I was coming from sea level in Florida. I was hunting in similar conditions and elevation in Montana. I checked zero at 100 yards when I arrived and was dead on. I confirmed at 500 and matched to my app for the conditions. Which showed environmental conditions started changing around 400 but at 500 I was .5 moa less than sea level. So I did not worry about dope changing until 500 and beyond. I found as I was practicing and preparing for this hunt that I had much more variations from shooting stances than I did with environmental. I normally shoot with a bipod at home but decided to remove it for this hunt in the mountains with the varied terrain and shooting positions. My groups were much higher on the bidpod (as I usually let it free recoil) than holding the rifle or shooting across my pack and other shooting styles I practiced. In short my shooting style entered greater variance than environmental Thanks Buck [/QUOTE]
